<p>Hey all! So I'm a junior this year, (&a noobie on CC) and I kinda, sorta screwed up on the APs tests I'm taking this year.</p>
<p>Most Likely Score:
AP Computer Science A: 1
AP Calculus AB: 3
AP US History: 5
AP Chemistry: we'll see
AP English Language: we'll see</p>
<p>I'm aiming for a 4 on Chem and a 5 on English but I am kind of doubting I'll get that, maybe a 3 and 4 respectively?
(I don't test well, I got a 3 and 4 on AP World and AP Art History last year.)</p>
<p>So my questions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Should I cancel my AP Computer Science score? (Trust me I failed, I didn't even have a teacher, it was eimacs, idk how succesful other people are with that site, but for me it was terrible, also I didn't really event try) Some people say its better to just show colleges you tried? Haha, I don't know.</li>
<li>Does it matter to take a lot of APs in senior year or should I just chill?</li>
<li>When should I start self-studying? I'm thinking summer vacation or winter vacation?</li>
<li>Any last minute advice for AP Chemistry? </li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks CC-ers! :]</p>

<li><p>Take as many as you can handle (not necessarily as many as you can comfortably handle… you still want to push yourself).</p></li>
<li><p>Just do as many practice problems as you can without going crazy, and make sure you understand why you got a question wrong.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>Eh, I’d say keep it for now and see what happens. Who knows, maybe you got lucky and can scrape out a 3. You don’t HAVE to send AP scores to colleges- just seeing that you challenged yourself with the courseload will be enough.</p></li>
<li><p>Take the classes, not necessarily the tests (if this is an option at your school). Trust me, senioritis will catch up to you. (I’m a senior. I should know)</p></li>
<li><p>For next year’s APs? O.O well. During the school year? It depends what APs we’re talking about here. If you’re taking histories, I would say start studying as soon as possible- there’s a lot to cover it all of those classes.</p></li>
<li><p>Practice practice practice. Familiarize yourself with what’s on the cheat sheet and what’s not. I opted out of taking this exam because I suck at chemistry, so I guess I’m not much help? XD</p></li>
